TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONGRN:

Be it known that we, JAMES `W. MILnoY, JOHN VAUGHN, and JonN- TnnLuY, of Galveston, n the county of Cass, and State of Indiana., have invented a. new and useful Improvement irLSoda-Fountains; and we do hereby declare that the following is`a. full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making-a. part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is atop view,

Figure 2 attransverse vertical section.

Like letters in the two figures of the drawings indicate like parts.

`We areeware of the common force-pump being used in soda-fountains to dispense with the use of carbonio! acid gas or air, therefore Vwe do not claim any novelty in the use of a force-pump in this connection, but simply claim an improvement upon this principle, which consists -iu the construction of a. cylinder within a double airtight cylinder, filled with charcoal or other non-conducting material, so as to form an intervening space or chamber between said cylinder and double cylinder, to receive the Vice, and the combination of a pump-cylinder with said cylinder, arranged with valves, valve-box, and discharge-tube, whereby thesodawatr may be kept more perfectlycool for `use. i v

To enable any one skilled in the art tomake and use our invention, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation. i i

A is the fountain, constructed with an inner cylinder, al, and properly secured bya plate, anround'thc top of the fountain. The space or chamber B thus formed being air-tight, is lledwith charcoal or other nonconducting material. C is the cylinder, so constructed as to leave a chamber, b, for ice. D is the pumpcylinder, placed within the cylinder C, with discharge-tube e connecting with valve-box cof the pump. The

4pump is elevated on a box, with perforations cl', for the admission of soda-water from the cylinder e yc,

the valves. E is the piston and rod; F, the handle. Gr is the lid or cover, constructed conically on the top, and straight across on the under side. The space e thus formed is filled with charcoahiikc the sides of the fountain. Ilhe lid fits down within the inclined top sides ofthe fountain, Aresting on the plate d. The pump-cylinder and cylinder C are made tight when lid is on by the close tit of plates g within them, attached to cross-plate of lid. l Operation: The chamber b is lfilled and packed with ice, and when the soda-water has been made, it is poured into the cylinder O, around pump, through the tube H nconstructed through the lid, and hy moving the handle up and down, it is pumped out through' discharge-tube forus'e. The water from the ice is drawn oif at I, the non-conducting top and sides 4of the fountain preserving the ice in the chamber from the heat, and thus keeping the sodanr'atcr cool at all times for use. v

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim thereinl as new, and desire to secure bylLett'crs Patent, is- Y i The construction and arrangement of the fountain A, lid G', cylinder C, in combination with the pumpu cylinder D, as arranged with the 'valve-box c and discharge-tube C and valves d d, subetantially in 4the manner and for the purpose as herein described and shown.
